Tenth International Meeting on Experimental and Behavioural Social Sciences (IMEBESS)

9-11 July 2026, Prague Congress Centre, Prague, Czech Republic

IMEBESS Organizing Committee is delighted to announce the Tenth Edition of IMEBESS, which will take place at the Prague Congress Centre on 9–11 July 2026.

IMEBESS brings together researchers in all areas of the social sciences with an interest in experimental methods. We particularly welcome participation across disciplines—including anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology—united by a shared interest in experimental and behavioural research.

We are excited to host this special edition in Prague, a city renowned for its rich history, cultural vibrancy, and central role in European intellectual life.
